Glorybee Organic Unrefined Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - 12 Ounce

Product Information

Product Details



Coconut oil is considered a fixed oil because it is solid at very low temperatures similar to tallow or lard, but melts at slightly above room temperature (76 ° F). It is also the most popular base oil used in the soap and body care industry. White in color when in its solid form and then clear when melted, this oil is produced from the fresh flesh of the coconut palm fruit. The coconuts are shelled and pared then the white meat of the coconut is ground and dried. The dried meat of the coconut is called copra. Once dried, the copra is then mechanically (expeller) pressed at a controlled temperature to separate the oil from the meat. This mechanical pressing is normally done at low temperatures but not low enough for it to be considered cold pressed. Once the oil is pressed from the copra, it is then passed through a filtering system and finally packaged. Since this coconut oil is unrefined, meaning that it is not bleached or deodorized, it retains the flavor and aroma of coconut. We have found that some consumers dont like the flavor or aroma of coconut in their cooking or in their body care products so we offer both unrefined and refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) coconut oil to meet the needs and preferences of all of our customers.
